Biography:
She was born on July 24 (according to other sources, on July 27), 1948 in Brody city Lviv region of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1971, she graduated from V. I. Ulyanov-Lenin Kazan Order of the Labor Red Banner State University.
Since 1971 (according to other data, since 1973) he has been working at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Since March 9, 2006, she has worked as a Senior Researcher of the Department of Solar Physics, since 2003 (according to other data, since December 2002) she has been a supervisor in the department.
During 1974-1976, she studied at a graduate school.
In 1985, she defended her candidate's thesis "Unbalanced formation of the spectrum of neutral oxygen and potassium in the solar atmosphere" at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
On May 15, 2002, she received the scientific degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. The doctoral dissertation "Multilevel problems of radiation transfer and diagnostics of solar and stellar atmospheres" was defended by a scientist at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 2001.
Together with S.M. Osipov and R.I. Since 2012, Kostykom has been using the ACU-5 solar horizontal telescope as part of the Ukrainian observational program for monitoring the Sun's atmosphere. In 2017, for the first time, they managed to detect the correlation of variations in the calm component of the Sun with indices of solar activity. These variations are almost an order of magnitude smaller than the variations of the Sun as a star.
She participates in international cooperation, performing some work abroad, in particular, she performed 1D observations in the Fe I λ639.3 nm line at the 70-cm German VTT vacuum tower telescope in the Canary Islands, Spain.
From 04/29/2015 to 10/23/2020, she was a member of the Bureau of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Department of Physics and Astronomy, and she has been a member of the staff of the Department of Physics and Astronomy since 04/13/2012.
Corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (astrophysics, solar system physics) since April 13, 2012.
She is a member of the International Astronomical Union and the Committee on Space Research under the International Council of Scientific Societies (COSPAR).
In 2005, she became a laureate of the M. P. Barabashov National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine award for the series of works "Spectral studies of stars and comets".
In 2018, she was awarded the Order of Princess Olga III degree.
The scope of her scientific work is the physics of the Sun and solar-terrestrial relations, the Hanle effect for spectral lines, hidden solar magnetism, non-equilibrium formation of spectral lines and diagnostics of the atmosphere of the Sun and stars, chemical evolution of the Sun and stars, convection and wave propagation in the atmosphere of the Sun; multilevel problems of radiation transfer and diagnostics of solar and stellar atmospheres.
She is studying the solar chromosphere and the solar wind.
She is the author of more than 70 publications.
